This course was a lot more than I expected it to be. It was really hard for me to keep up with the work in this class as you can tell. I will most likely be taking this class again with a different professor. The notes weren’t helpful. I don’t think I’ve retained much info at all. I feel as though I need to take this class over the summer when it will be my main focus. I’m very disappointed. The hardest part of this class for me was all of the eportfolio assignments. I just felt they didn’t help. me learn anything and quite frankly was a waste of time and too much to try and remember and do all in one week along with the other 4 classes and a lab I am taking.

Taking this test was no different than any other test for me. Still had the same anxiety. I don’t typically study for tests just because there is never an improvement in my grade. With that being said I did not study for this test. When taking the notes for the class I did highlight and write in different colored pens so that when doing assignments the important information would stand out. The feedback I got from this test is no different than any other. Im not surprised with the grade I got and I will use this same method for future tests.
This is a picture of my notes from Chapter 2!

My whole life music has been a big part of me. I’ve been singing, dancing, and playing instruments for as long as I can remember. In my current romantic relationship, music was the first thing I noticed we connected over. Even to this day it is how we express ourselves to each other when we can’t put it into words ourselves. We both have different personality traits, but I have noticed that what we value and our morals are quite similar. With everything going on in the media these days we both seem to hold the same opinions and beliefs in regards to it.

When I think of myself as a student I definitely see a change in me over the years. I used to be very confident. I was the type that would never worry about a test or assignment. I was the person everyone would come to for help. Once I hit high school all of that changed and it showed in my grades. Once I got to high school the work was harder which meant I needed to study for tests and quizzes, etc. I had never had to study before because all of the information used to just stick with me. When I would study I would notice no change in my grades or my grades got worse which cause me to lose confidence in myself. I started to give up. I had the mentality that if I don’t know the information by test day then oh well. I would never push myself or fight because I didn’t think it was worth it.
When taking the self-efficacy test I received a score of 33. I agree with this number 100%. If I actually put my mind to something I know I can do it, even if it means working harder than others. With the right amount of confidence and the right amount of self motivation I know I’m able to accomplish everything I’ve dreamed of and more.

This course will be a definite help in the future. As I am planning to be a psychologist of some sort (not 100% sure yet) this will give background knowledge on situations my clients might come across. I expect this course to further open my mind to the field of psychology while also answering some of the questions I already have. By taking this course I hope to gain a better understanding of the social aspect of psychology and using it to further my career choice. To make sure that I succeed at the level I want I plan on keeping track of due dates as well as setting time aside to study the material, especially the ones I find to be rather difficult. I will use my professor as well as fellow classmates as resources when I am struggling.
